We kayaked the area north of the Haverstraw kayak launch. It was Baila’s first time with her new Perception Acadia Scout. It’s the same model and color scheme as Mechel’s. Here’s Baila paddling (Mechel is in the distance): Unpacking: The paparazzi:
Bubbe with Baila: A train went over the bridge [...] We went up to Mongaup Pond for Memorial day weekend. All the new systems in the RV worked well, except for a propane leak in the connection for the new catalytic heater. Once I tightened it up, it was fine. Trish relaxing in camp:
On Sunday we went kayaking on the pond: Followed [...] We took the Oppenheimers kayaking this afternoon. In addition to our 5 kayaks, we rented 3 from EMS. We had 6 on the trailer and two on the roof of the van. We put in at the Haverstraw kayak launch:
Unfortunately, we went out during a falling tide. We reached a [...] We’ve been here before, and this time, we came with Bubbie! The water was quite a bit lower this time, so we couldn’t paddle in amongst the trees. Even the main channel was a bit difficult to push through, as it was filled with lilypads in places.

We’ve gone on a couple adventures together before. See here and here. Here’s our route map. We stared on Sparkill, in Piermont, NY: We paddled downstream on Sparkill towards the Hudson. Along the way we spotted a Heron: Eventually we got out to the Hudson and paddled south to another little creek. [...] The last time we went kayaking, Trish said she would like to try a multi day kayaking trip. Last Wednesday, we decided we would try a two day trip on Memorial Day weekend. A local kayak outfitter recommended the Delaware River. After consulting the map, we decided to try a trip from Dingman’s Ferry [...] The four of us went Kayaking in Haverstaw last night.
